More about Nasomatto Absinth
Absinth (Nasomatto) is a concentrated, green-woody aromatic extrait that deliberately evokes the bitter, herbal character of absinthe (wormwood/artemisia). The opening is sharply green and herbal — a bitter, slightly metallic-anisic facet (absinthe/wormwood/aromatic green notes) with faint citrus/pepper lift on some skins. The heart centers on vetiver and earthy herbaceous accents, yielding a damp-forest, loamy-soil impression (wet roots, mushroom/earth undertones described by many reviewers). The drydown settles into woody, mossy and lightly gourmand-tinged base notes (oakmoss/patchouli, musk and a subtle warm sweetness), producing a haunting, warm-earthy trail. Overall character: green, bitter, woody, earthy, slightly boozy/haunting and addictive for those who like unusual, vegetal fragrances. Performance: typically moderate-to-strong sillage and generally long-lasting for many wearers but can be skin-dependent; can come off medicinal or beet-like on some people.
